Public transport
We now have a rural 'on demand' bus service which connects us to several local train services. To register with the service and book it, click here. Our nearest train stations are Acton Bridge, Frodsham, Runcorn East and Runcorn. There are taxi ranks at Frodsham and Runcorn. If you would like to combine train and a walk or cycle, we suggest using Acton Bridge station. Follow the road to the River Weaver bridge, then take the path along the river to Dutton Locks and the footpath to Lodge Lane. It's around a one hour walk or a twenty minute bike ride.
